‘The Pitt,' ‘The Studio,' and ‘Adolescence' have taken the lead in this pivotal Emmy category
When it comes to predicting the Emmys, there is one group of bellwether categories worth paying close attention to. Over the past decade, a notable trend has emerged: the winners for Best Drama Series and Best Drama Casting have mirrored each other seven times; Best Comedy Series and Best Comedy Casting eight times; and Best Limited Series and Best Limited/Movie Casting nine times. That's a combined accuracy rate of 80 percent over the most recent 10-year period. With that in mind, our gaze is fixed on the three casting races for the 2025 Emmys, where The Pitt, The Studio, and Adolescence are already making compelling cases as the early front-runners. More from Gold Derby Anne Hathaway reveals first-look photo from 'The Devil Wears Prada 2': Everything to know about anticipated sequel Marvel's big reset: Mahershala Ali's 'Blade,' recasting 'X-Men' and Tony Stark, and why Miles Morales is MIA in the MCU Best Drama Casting Drama Casting Contender Odds 1. The Pitt 71.2% 2. The White Lotus 19.6% 3. Severance 5.9% 4. The Last of Us 3.3% 5. Slow Horses -- The Pitt ranking in first place for casting should raise a few eyebrows, considering that Severance is the front-runner to win Best Drama Series and also tripled The Pitt's tally in terms of acting nominations. Noah Wyle, Katherine LaNasa, and Shawn Hatosy were the only performer nominees for Season 1 of the medical series. But there's precedent: Homeland received one fewer acting nomination in 2012, and it still was able to win Emmys for series and casting. The category's runner-up is The White Lotus, which notably is a two-time casting winner in 2023 (as a drama series) and 2022 (as a limited series). Unlike the other nominees, The White Lotus revamps its cast every season, which gives it a huge advantage in this contest. Plus, the acting branch went overboard (no Tanya McQuoid pun intended) with their love for Season 3, bestowing nominations upon eight actors: Walton Goggins, Jason Isaacs, Sam Rockwell, Carrie Coon, Parker Posey, Natasha Rothwell, Aimee Lou Wood, and Scott Glenn. Severance currently places third in casting for its heralded second season, which led the field with 27 total nominations. The series' nine nominated cast members are Adam Scott, Britt Lower, Zach Cherry, Tramell Tillman, John Turturro, Patricia Arquette, Jane Alexander, Gwendoline Christie, and Merritt Wever. The Last of Us is next for its Season 2, which began with Joel's shocking death and explored the reverberations on those around him. Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, Joe Pantoliano, Jeffrey Wright, Kaitlyn Dever, and Catherine O'Hara were the six individuals recognized by the Television Academy. Lastly, Slow Horses received a casting citation for Season 4 despite only getting in series lead Gary Oldman. Other would-be contenders, notably Jack Lowden and Jonathan Pryce, were strangely snubbed. Best Comedy Casting Comedy Casting Contender Odds 1. The Studio 89.0% 2. Only Murders in the Building 4.5% 3. The Bear 2.7% 4. Hacks 2.4% 5. Shrinking 1.5% The Studio has taken the early lead in the casting race for comedy, and for good reason — it received 10 acting nominations, more than any other TV program this year. The nominees are Seth Rogen, Ike Barinholtz, Kathryn Hahn, Catherine O'Hara, Bryan Cranston, Dave Franco, Ron Howard, Anthony Mackie, Martin Scorsese, and Zoë Kravitz. The Apple TV+ show is the only first-year comedy nominated, which, if recent history is an indication, gives it an additional upper hand: The Bear (2023), Abbott Elementary (2022), Ted Lasso (2021), and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (2018) all won casting for their rookie seasons. Only Murders in the Building currently ranks in second for a fourth season that went heavy on special guest stars, including Zach Galifianakis, Eugene Levy, Eva Longoria, and Melissa McCarthy. But those actors were all snubbed, as were lead performers Steve Martin and Selena Gomez. The one piece of good news? Martin Short scored his fourth consecutive bid for Best Comedy Actor. The Bear is the two-time reigning champion in this casting category, and it's hoping to emulate the Veep sweep of 2015-17 by going three-for-three. The cooking dramedy's seven acting nominees for Season 3 are Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Liza Colón-Zayas, Jon Bernthal, Olivia Colman, and Jamie Lee Curtis. In fourth place is Hacks, which has yet to win the casting prize, though it did win Best Comedy Series last year in a huge surprise over The Bear. The following four performers nabbed bids for the fourth season: Jean Smart, Hannah Einbinder, Robby Hoffman, and Julianne Nicholson. Finally, there's Shrinking, which entered the casting race for the first time with its second season. Jason Segel, Harrison Ford, Michael Urie, and Jessica Williams each received acting nominations this year for the underrated comedy about quirky therapists. Best Movie/Limited Casting Movie/Limited Casting Contender Odds 1. Adolescence 90.0% 2. Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story 3.8% 3. The Penguin 2.9% 4. Black Mirror 1.8% 5. Dying for Sex 1.5% Can anything beat Adolescence for casting? Bueller? Mere months ago, the five nominated actors — Stephen Graham, Owen Cooper, Ashley Walters, Erin Doherty, and Christine Tremarco — were virtual unknowns, but now they're international superstars due to the success of the Netflix limited series that focuses on a young boy accused of stabbing his female classmate. Their overnight fame is reminiscent of Baby Reindeer last year, and that project walked away with six Emmys including, you guessed it, casting and series. The other four longform productions are in Adolescence's massive shadow, and are just happy to be nominated for the casting prize. Predicted runner-up Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story secured three acting nominations (Cooper Koch, Javier Bardem, and Chloë Sevigny), while third-place contender The Penguin got three (Colin Farrell, Cristin Milioti, and Deirdre O'Connell), fourth-place hopeful Black Mirror scored one (Rashida Jones), and fifth-place nominee Dying for Sex earned three (Michelle Williams, Rob Delaney, and Jenny Slate).

'The Veil': Elisabeth Moss's New 'Slow Horses' Style Thriller Series Is A Must For 'The Handmaid's Tale' Fans
The Apple TV+ series Slow Horses single-handedly revived our love of a British spy thriller (though we still think early series Spooks walked so it could run). For fans desperate for a new fix while we await season five, fear not, The Veil is here. And for those who are also missing Elisabeth Moss after the finale of The Handmaid's Tale, it's doubly good news as she leads the show, playing a British MI6 spy called Imogen Salter. If the idea of all that is already whetting your appetite, you'll be glad to know you've got viewing options - The Veil starts on Channel 4 from Sunday July 20 and will be available on its streaming platform. But if you have a Disney Plus membership, the whole series is available there too. Moss plays MI6 agent Imogen Salter who is known for being an incredible undercover agent (and has a British accent throughout). She is asked to get a women called Adilah El Idrissi (played by Yumna Marwan) out of a Turkish-Syrian refugee camp and get the details and secrets they believe she holds to prevent an attack. The Veil is set amidst a Bond-esque array of international locations, and you never know who you can trust - at one point, Adilah is accused of being a terrorist. How much can the women trust each other and their individual motivations? When the CIA and French service demand she bring Adilah in, Imogen goes rogue - and a classic thriller chase ensues. With the new season of Slow Horses due to start on Apple TV+ on September 24, this should keep you going until then. One fan of the show reviewed The Veil online, saying: 'The Veil is an absolute triumph in both acting and storytelling. From the very first episode, the cast delivers stunning performances that make you feel every ounce of emotion the characters experience.' The Veil airs on Channel 4 from Sunday July 20. The whole series is available to stream on Disney Plus. ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.

Your Next Must-Watch? The Reviews Of Untamed Are In
When a woman fatally falls from El Capitan, special agent Kyle Turner (Eric Bana) has suspicions that it wasn't an accident – and the truth may be hidden deep within Yosemite National Park. This is the story behind Untamed , the new American drama murder mystery on Netflix. The six-part drama landed on the streaming platform on 17 July and promises to add some toe curling tension to your summer. But is it worth watching? The reviews are in... For fans of The Perfect Couple or a good murder mystery novel, Untamed may be the ideal show to sink your teeth into this summer, but what do the critics say? Rebecca Nicholson at The Guardian awarded the series three stars. 'It's not the smartest, but the mountains are lovely,' she wrote, adding that Untamed 'makes a fairytale of both detective work and the great outdoors'. Meanwhile Variety 's Aramide Tinbubu had more generous things to say about the show. 'Deeply layered and gripping, Untamed is a brilliant detective tale anchored by some of our worst human impulses,' she writes. 'It is a story of pain, shame and the hope of redemption, even when there appears to be no way out. A series about justice, control and who gets to be remembered, it's also a reminder that in the end, our true nature will always be revealed.' The Hollywood Reporter critic Daniel Fienberg calls the show 'intriguing but rushed'. As he puts it, '[ Untamed ] the sort of tightly – often too tightly – constructed six-episode potboiler with epic frontier undertones that should find a receptive audience among fans of mysteries like Slow Horses, Reacher and Dept Q (as well as viewers who like the general structure of True Detective, but would prefer a little less philosophical noodling). 'Rarely have the parks – their vastness, their complexity, the official and unofficial denizens who live and work within them – been as central to a story as Yosemite is to Untamed, ' notes Time TV critic, Judy Berman. For her, the scenery is the star of the show. 'Forget Turner, Vazquez, Jill, Paul—all egregiously underwritten. Untamed has a far more fascinating and multifaceted lead in Yosemite.' A disappointing two stars are given from Dan Einav at the Financial Times. 'Little of what we see during out visit to Yosemite is inspiring or natural – from the contrived writing to the signature Netflix aesthetic that makes everything look more overproduced than untamed.' However, it's a strong four stars from Carol Midgley at The Times. 'Having watched all six episodes, I would never have guessed the outcome or the guilty party. Ultimately, it is a series which transcends, with ease, its central cliché.' Nikki Peach is a writer at Grazia UK, working across entertainment, TV and news.

'Slow Horses' actor Jack Lowden to star in 'Berlin Noir' adaptation
July 17 (UPI) -- Slow Horses actor Jack Lowden has signed on to star in Apple TV+'s adaptation of Philip Kerr's bestselling Berlin Noir book series. Set in the 1920s, the origin story for detective Bernie Gunther will be filmed in Berlin. Writer and executive producer Peter Straughan -- whose credits include Conclave, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and Wolf Hall -- will be the show-runner. Oscar-winner Tom Hanks is among the series' producers. "Bernie is a police officer, newly promoted to the intimidating and elite Berlin Murder Squad, and must investigate what seems to be a serial killer targeting victims on the fringes of society," a synopsis said. "Bernie's Berlin is a city of unprecedented freedom and dizzying turbulence, the Nazis just a distant nightmare waiting in the wings. With the political and social world shifting to a new norm, we see Bernie fighting for truth, whatever the cost." No other casting has been announced yet.

Slow Horses Season 5: Everything we know so far about release date, cast and plot
By Aman Shukla Published on July 16, 2025, 18:00 IST Last updated July 16, 2025, 11:21 IST Okay, let's talk about Slow Horses . If you're not obsessed with this Apple TV+ show yet, what are you even doing? It's got everything: spies screwing up in the most glorious ways, Jackson Lamb's gross-but-brilliant vibe, and enough twists to make your head spin. I binged Season 4 in two days (no shame), and now I'm counting down to Season 5 like it's my job. So, grab a coffee—or a pint, if you're channeling Lamb—and let's unpack what's coming: when it drops, who's in it, and what kind of mess the Slough House crew is stumbling into this time. Slow Horses Season 5 Release Date Slow Horses Season 5 lands on September 24, 2025, and I'm already clearing my schedule. Apple TV+ is sticking with their usual playbook: a two-episode premiere to hook us, then one episode every Wednesday until the finale on October 22, 2025. Six episodes total, which feels way too short, but they always pack a punch. If you're behind, Seasons 1–4 are streaming on Apple TV+—perfect for a weekend marathon. New to the platform? Snag a seven-day free trial and thank me later. Slow Horses Season 5 Expected Cast The Slough House crew is back, and thank goodness, because this cast is pure gold. Leading the charge is Gary Oldman as Jackson Lamb, the chain-smoking, farting, genius spymaster who somehow keeps this dysfunctional team together. Oldman's performance is so good it earned a 2024 Emmy nod, and we are betting he'll steal every scene again. The rest of the gang includes: Jack Lowden as River Cartwright Kristin Scott Thomas as Diana Taverner Rosalind Eleazar as Louisa Guy Christopher Chung as Roddy Ho Saskia Reeves as Catherine Standish Aimee-Ffion Edwards as Shirley Dander Ruth Bradley as Emma Flyte James Callis as Claude Whelan Tom Brooke as J.K. Coe Jonathan Pryce as David Cartwright There's also a fresh face: Nick Mohammed joins as Zafar Jaffrey, a slick politician gunning to be the UK's next Prime Minister. He's a guest star, so expect him to stir up trouble. As for Hugo Weaving's creepy Frank Harkness from Season 4, there's buzz he might not return until Season 6, but nothing's confirmed. Fingers crossed for more of that chilling vibe. Slow Horses Season 5 Potential Plot Season 5 pulls from Mick Herron's fifth novel, London Rules , and it's packed with the kind of twisty, high-stakes drama we love. The official word from Apple TV+? 'Roddy Ho's got a glamorous new girlfriend, and nobody trusts it. When weird stuff starts happening across London, the Slow Horses have to figure out how it's all connected. And Jackson Lamb? He's reminding everyone that in the spy game, 'London Rules' always apply.' Without spoiling the fun, here's the gist: a string of bizarre, possibly terrorist-related incidents shakes the UK, and our ragtag team gets dragged into the mess. Roddy Ho, of all people, steps into the spotlight—his new romance seems too good to be true, and it's tied to the bigger picture. We'll also get a peek into Jackson Lamb's murky past, maybe even the screw-up that landed him in Slough House. Expect political intrigue (think Brexit and immigration debates), messy personal stakes, and the team's usual mix of epic wins and epic fails. It's Slow Horses , so you know it'll be darkly funny and edge-of-your-seat intense. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .
